3 years ago

Rapper Kanye West has been hospitalised in an LA hospital, according to reports.

The news comes after what has been a tumultuous week for the 39-year-old, in which he's ranted onstage in Sacramento about Jay Z, Beyonce and Hillary Clinton, before announcing that he was cancelling the rest of his current Saint Pablo tour.

According to NBC Los Angeles, US police responded to a medical welfare call at around 1.20pm US west coast time.

"No criminal activity was involved; the decision to hospitalise West at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center was for his own health and safety," sources said.

In earlier fan clips from the Sacramento show, the 'Famous' rapper could be seen crying, wiping his eyes and hugging fellow rapper Kid Cudi as his song 'Beautiful Morning' played in the background.

After performing only three numbers, Kanye ended the concert. Later it was announced that he was cancelling the rest of his Saint Pablo tour, though no reason was immediately given.
